each object appeared its own inverted j

ALI.KHKI) l l l'.K SAID TO DESTROY
Till; AITKriTK TOR LIl'Oi;.
A letter from Chit-afro to the New
York Sun contains an account of lr.
JT "lifer's mode of treatment for tlie
cure of drunkenness. If the drug or
bark is found to missc-ss the projierties
claimed for it our physicians will, no
doubt, advise its use. We trust this
new discovery will jmisscss the alioired
virtues, for, if so, will prove no less val
uable than wonderful :
"Now, Doctor," I said, "what did you
pive this patient? or, in other words, tell
me in plain Knulish what your medicine is,
how you prepare it, and how any one may
five it so us to cure fn habitual drunkard
1 mean a drunkard with inflamed eyes,
tr.-mhltntr hands. Moated body, and intellect
shattered hy habitual drink."
"My liiedU-iiie," said the Ioctor, "can be
boitirht" at any first-class t.ruir store. It is
red Peruvian bark (citirhona ruhra. ) Cuinirie
is from tlie yellow bark (cnHs'iya.) Now,
there are eighty varieties of this bark. I
use the bark from tlie small red variety.
1 )nu.'L;i-ts call it tlie quill hark ticcaiir..; it
comes ftoin twifs about the size of a iiuill."
"How do you mix it '."'
"1 take a pound of the best fresh .pull red
Peruvian bark (cinchona rubra), powder it
and soak it in a pint of diluted alcohol.
Tin-it I strain it and evaporate it down to a
half pint so it is a pound to a half pint.
Anv one can prepare it."
"I low do you ttive this medicine?"
"I five the drunken man a tea-poonful
every three hours, and occ asionally moisten
his toiifiie between the doses the lir-t and
1 second days. It acts like ijuinine. The pa-
tieiit can tell by a headache if he is fcttiiit?
j too much. The third day I generally reduce
1 the dose to a half spoonful, then to a quarter
i spoonful, then down to fifteen, ten and five
I drops."
' How Ion t; do you continue the medicine ?"
'TToiu five to liiteeii days, and in extreme
! cases thirty days. Stveu is about the aver-
i a-e."
1 "Now, please tell lue tlie philosophy f
this na-itieiii why it cures drunkenness,
and how 'ju happened to make tlie tliscove-
rv."
"Well, first you must under-taml that in-ten.peiau'-e,
tir-t a habit, finally becomes r.
di-e,ie. It becomes a disea-e of the nerve
; cells, or if talking to a physician, 1 should
say it heroines a disease of the sen-orial fan-
tlia. I found hy dissc-tinjf the brain of a
man who had diet of delirium tremens that
tlie cells of the ip.ia lrifen.inal body, or the
cells that -end the n.-nes t i the eye, wvie in
i an unnatural state ..Tt the out-i.le, while
wit l.iii tbe m-rve cells themselves 1 li.cover- i
; ed a yellow, yeaty-loiikipt; depo-.it.
"Now, I n-i'd myself, what is this yellow '
I deposit and what causes this abnormal look '
of the cells? It was caused, I lejrned after ;
much research, by the ethereal part of the
alcohol foinfj -trailit to the outside of these ;
cells. Now, if I drink, miik," continued the
; d-K'tor, "or eat food, it will take it four hours '.
, to pass through the digestive or !, be t
' ken up iu the f lood, artd be. pa-sed to the !
nerve cells in three minutes. This shows
l that alcohol is not digested. II is not f.d.
: It is a poisonous fluid, electricity, foes over
I a wire, straight to the outside f tlie nerve
cells, which it stimulates artificially, when ;
I they should he stimulated naturally through :
i the hi.!.
. "If the spirit part of alcohol," continued
; the Doctor, "were digested like soup, the ;
I kidneys would extract from it its properties 1
I as they extract the injurious salt" from our i
' food, and this poi-oti would never reach
' them. Once stimulated unnaturally by j
! poisonous suh-tance like whi-ky, the nerve, i
; cells call for larger and larfer d'oses, till by
and hy a man can drink twoijuarts of whl-ky j
or eat seventy grains of morphine a day.
' C'i'-i' horta rubra stops the call for alcohol."
. ' Please explain the passage of food and
: poi-oiied alcohol to the hriii awiain." I said,
i "Vcll, when a man drinks alcohol it foes,
like electricity, straight to the nerve cells ;
j theu.-e to the eye throufh the optic nerve ;
! then t. the brain, making a man talk lively ;
j then to the spinal centre, limtierinf the
: back: then to the muscular system: and,
; w hen it filially pets to the stomach, he vom
i its. Food foes to the stomach first, then
j into the blood, then to the heart, and finally
! throat;! the atterie to the brain."
i "Then red Peruvian bark stimulates and
! builds up the nerve cells until they befin to
! receive nutrition from the blood ?"
i "Yes, that's it. 't he only credit I claim is
j uiakitif thU discovery and discoveriu-j; the
! lacatioiiof the disease known as dipsomania."
"How did you discover that led cinchona
1 hark would cure drunkenness?"
"Well, I first discovered it down in Mary-
land, twelve year-, af.v An account was
' published in the 'un at that time. I had
i case of a drunkard. Hill Stevers, who a!-.o
i had intermittent fever. It was a hard case
' of fever, and so 1 tried red Peruvian bark in
i st.-ad of (juinine. To my surprise, it not
i only cured his fever, but he never wanted to
' drink whi-ky afterward. When he went in-
to a saloon and the hoys asked hi:a to drink,
i lull said :
"I can't, boys. That dofon red bark the
j Doctor fave ii'ic not only killed my fever, but
; it spoiled all the whi-ky in Man, laud for mc"
, "What conspicuous cures in Chicago can
; you refer to, D,-tor""
"Well, Dr. S. Ik Noble, lie had the aleo
: holic di-ea-e. His nerve cells w ere poioned.
He was once President of the Illinois Dental
; Association. He pot to In- a hard drinker,
j His r.iind b"fan to lie affected, thotiph a
scholar and a gentleman, beloved by ev.-ry-ImmIv.
He tried red Peruvian bark three
weeks atro. He's a well man now, and ev
erybody in Chicago looks at this cure as a
miracle. Dr. Noble knows it was a disease,
and don't object to be referred to."
I am sat i-lied that if physicians everywhere
will five Dr. DT'nirer's discover a trial they
will .hi more tor temperance in a year than
(.ninth and Murphy have done in all their
lives. It is the f'.r-t r.-mcdy ever discovered
that kills the disease and the inclination to
drink at one and the suiue time.
A House "Who Kxnv tiik s. P. C.
A. sicn. A sonic hat singular incident
happened yesterday at the corner of South
and Gennaii streets, which attracted a
large iiumlerof spectators, few of whom
failed t appreciate the situation. At
this corner is the office of the president
of that humane organization, the Society
for t he Prevent ion of ( 'melt y to Animals.
On the front of the ollice hangs tlie sign
of tlie society. K-aring upon iti face tlie
picture of a cruel driver Ix-at ing an over
loaded dray horse. It was about -J. P. M.
yesterday, and the streets were thronged
with business men, when a horse and
cart were driven down South street, the
horse considerably the worse for wear,
the carl very much dilapidated and soine
whal overloaded. As the horse reached
the corner, he slightly raised his head,
gave t'lif glance at tlie humane society's
sign, and without more ado laid himself
tlown on the pavement in harness, his
head tow ard the sign and his tail toward
the street. It was fancied by those w ho
witnessed t he ircrforiuanoe t hat the horse
heaved a sigh of relief as he reached the
pavement and lay under the shadow of
the society. Tender hands raised the
animal from the ground, though helonk-

THE UEKKV, MEl'.KY FAHMKIi S HOY.
From August to Maoi'iuh, every field
was full of ploughs and patient farmers.
Dear, patient, g ood-uaiure.l grumbling
agriculturists. Where the farmer gets
his gixd nature from is a mystery to me
every time I look at him. 1 v,-atched
him to-day from the car window, ph Hi
ding along at the tail f the plow, and I
wondered that he ever smiled at all un
der any provocation, of all men it
seems to me the farmer has the It'st
right to grumble. )nly, he never grum
bles at the right things. lie grumbles
at prices, and then nobody sympathizes
with him nor cares a cent for his trou
bles, tcause we grumble at the name
thing. Prices never did suit anyKidy.
The seller always thinks they are too
low, and the buyer always knows they
are too high. The merchant goes into
bankruptcy It-cause he is compelled to
sell his g.Mnls lor half what they cost
him ; and the customer goes naked and
starves localise he can't afford to pay
one-half what is asked for them. So the
farmer, when he grumbles at prices, is
no worse off than the rest of us. and ac
cordingly attracts no sympathy.
I5ut Here is where, to my w ay of think
ing, the gazelle comes iti for the farmer.
It is spring iiiid the annual warfare
lx-gins. Early iuthe nioniingthe jocund
farmer hies him to the iu-M, and hunts

When it is mended, he goes back into
the field with it. Half way down the
first furrow he lays, he runs the X'l"iiph
fairly into a big live oak nxd, the ban- .
dies alternately break a rib on this side i
of him and jab the breath out of him on
the other, and the sturdy root, looking
up out of the ground with a pleawd
smile of recognition, says cheerfully :
' "Ah, Mr. Thistlepml, at it a.'ain.

i Fifty feet farther on he strikes a stone t
I that doubles up the plough point like a ;

A ROMANTIC STORY.
I
A despatch from 1'mt .Tervis, X. V.,
to the New York 'Voo.s. relates this :
.Toset.h Morse, of Stroiid.-bm '. Pa., made !
f.-0 lino in lS.ao out of a contract on the I tela
ware, Lackawanna ami Western ran way,
which was then constructing. He removed
l to this place, and purchased a fine residence,
j His family couM-tod of his wife and two
daughters. His wife's maiden name was
, Collin. She was a member of a prominent
New Jeis.-y family, and had two younger
i si-lers. Mr. Morse gave both of his daugh
ter a line education, rianecs was a gradu
ate of Seward institute, in Florida, thi
county, a school founded hy the father of the
late Secretary Seward, and which has always
leen conducted by members of that family.
Miss Morse was a tine musician and linirui-t.
After returning home from school she be
came a contributor to the New- York period
icals. While at school, she, with thoiu.'htless
companions of her-,in-ei te.l an a.h ei tis.-iuetit
in a New York new -paper solieitinp corres
pondence with some gentleman, with a view
to matrimony. The advertisement wa- an
swered by F. I. Jenks, of llo-toii. A corres
pondence wa-' curried on between Miss
Mor-e and Jenks tor some time, and finally
they became en gaped without ever having
seen each other.
Some time alter the M ,r-e family came to
Port Jervis Mis. Morse died. H. -r husband
subsequently married one of l-.-r -i-t.-r-. In
ls."4, after Frances returned from school, her
betrothed husband came on front lio-ton to
see her. She disliked himas-oon as .lii-vnv
him. Her stepmother, however, fancied the
young man, and through her influence Fran
ces was induced to reconsider a determina
tion she had made to break off her on-:age-ment,
and she and Jenks were married.
They went to P.o-ton. Mrs. .b-nk- remained
in that city only a short time, as -he and her
liu.-band did not live happily together.
Jenks came to Port Jervis subsequently and
lived with his wile for six months, w lien a
separation was agreed upon between them,
and Jenks went away. Meantime, Morse
had squandered hi- fortune. Dining a se
vere illness about this time Mr-. Jenks t""k
as medicine laige quantities of opium.
When she recovered she a.c -p.-d a position
as teacher in one of the New intk schools.
It was there that sh- discovered that she had
acquired tin- opium habit, she became such
a slave to the habit that she was compelled
to give up her situation in New York. In
isv.t her stepniotiiei died, and her father af
terward married the remaining one ot the
three Cofliii sisters. Mrs. Jenks gradually
ohtailied control of herappctite for opium.
In 1 -"' her father took the contract for
building the Ilawley branch of the Erie rail
way and removed front Pott Jervis to Haw
ley. There Mrs. J.-nks married a man nam
ed McKay, ami the two removed to Connec
ticut. It docs not appear whether a divorce
was ever obtained in the first marriage.
McKay died a year or two afterwards.
Morse somewhat repaired his fortune by the
JIawlev branch contract, and removed lost.
l.oui m lso.-., where he amassed a large for
tune, and where, it is said, tie still re-ides.
His widow.-d daughter joined him in that
city, and, by her accomplishments and N-au-ty,
took a prominent place in s.M-i.-ty.
The Morses, ia ls.'.si p,-nt the summer at
Saratoga. The young widow captured a
voung Southerner named t.eorge S. Henry,
who was also staying at the springs. si,e
married him, and they took up their resi
dence on hi- plantation near New Orleans.
They lhc.l tnere happily for three years,
when Henry died. After he died it was
found that hi- affairs w.-re in such shape
that his wife and child woul 1 be left penni
less. The child died s.H.n afterwards, and
Mrs. Henry fell soon afterwards into h. r
old opium-eating habit. She came to New
York city. Friends aided her in securing
work on the press. The habit of opium
eating grew on her, and she was finally com
pelled to cea-e writing. She then engaged
in dress making. From that time her friends
in this place lost trace of her. A few days
ago it was announced in one of the morning
papers that Mrs. Ib-nry had died at No. 17
Clinton Piace, and that sin- had Wen so ad
dieted to the use of opium that she required
from four to five ounces of laudanum a day.
This unlortunate woman proved to be the
former siK'iet belle at Port Jervis, Prances
.Morse.
Iv TIIK Si'iiiNO, &c.--Aii infallible
indication of the approach of summer is
the numlor of elo'ieinerits which are
chronicled in the local columns of Ihe
domestic xehangos. One ot the most
touching idyls of the season is told in
limpid prose by the Dayton liitwu-rot.
He w as poor ; she was y.miig t her parent s
were sensible, lie was forbidden to en
ter the house and she to leave it. Her
chainlsr was in the .second, story and
underneath tfie -window was
gtape-
arbor or rack. At the hour apiiinted
for love's advetiturc he made the precon
certed signal from a shady corner i f the
Street and she answered it. She had a
change of clothing sa
lt,.tv S'l.V.I'il illVilV
in a valise w hich sh
ad borrowed from
her brother without his know b-dge. She
opened t!ie window and low rod the
valise to the ground. Then trawling
out of the w indow and straddling ou of
the rafters of the graja -rack, sin- crept
down to tlie post and thence, as it were,
skinned it to tla- ground. Ever thing
looked auspicious, and they were in great
glee, when t her horror she happened
to observe that she had on a pair of old
rublrt rs instead of her shoes, which she
had taken off in her room, and had for
gotten to throw out upon the grass.
This was a sad stab- of affairs, as it
would not look well for a young holy t-
go traveling among strangers with a
pair of rubliers. and nothing else in tin
form of shoe leal her. and licsides. as it
was damp and cold, her health would be
endangered. Jtisi what in do greatly
distressed their ardent young hearis. A
proposition that be should climb up to
Ihe room and get the shoes was n.t
favorably entertained by the flashing
voung man : but white t hev were Hiseus-

lip unexpectedly at tint front gate. The ;
girl sat down on tlie door step and bu.'st :
inio tears, and heiTovor di-sapiM-ared over '
the fence with uncommon agility. There ,
was a domestic tableau in the par'or and j
the young lady was sent to lied.

was a failure. Iinb-cd. if the kite d"esn"t
